Copyright problem removed edit

Earwig was giving >80% match against NHB page so I excised this edit from five years ago that added significant copy-and-paste content. Restored content to this revision due to vandalism in intervening edit. That brings similarity down to 60% which isn't great, but the pledge itself of course has to be verbatim in multiple languages so not much can be done about that. Maybe can paraphrase the guidelines a bit but the range of possible wordings is likely rather limited.

Pinging experienced, recently-active SG editors seen in article history @Sgweirdo, Seloloving, Robertsky, and Justanothersgwikieditor: as I'm unsure if it's necessary or a good idea to revdel 90+ edits over a span of five years so I'll defer to someone else on that. Offending range is |start=771803131|end=1095132919 (inclusive of both). – 2406:3003:2077:1E60:C998:20C6:8CCF:5730 (talk) 18:06, 25 July 2022 (UTC)Reply

Have looked at Earwig report. It should be attributed to the older url address even though it was just a page move as Internet Archive only recorded the URL you had indicated after the revision you indicated. Looking at the diffs between the start of the offending range and when you had removed the content, I don't think there's much to remiss if the 90+ edits is revdel-ed. – robertsky (talk) 21:10, 25 July 2022 (UTC)Reply
@2406:3003:2077:1E60:C998:20C6:8CCF:5730 Are the translations considered official? If the pledge is meant to in English, the translations can be removed. -- Justanothersgwikieditor (talk) 01:27, 26 July 2022 (UTC)Reply
If you like to do another DYK, you can expand from the sources at infopedia. -- Justanothersgwikieditor (talk) 01:28, 26 July 2022 (UTC)Reply
The translations are official. Re: DYK, don't think there's enough material for 5× expansion nor the subject "hooky" enough, so will pass on that. 2406:3003:2077:1E60:C998:20C6:8CCF:5730 (talk) 03:51, 26 July 2022 (UTC)Reply
